There have been dozens of Dragon Ball games over the decades, but you probably never thought there would be a MOBA. Well, that’s exactly what Dragon Ball Project: Multi is planned to be when it eventually comes out. This will be a 4v4 multiplayer game where you can take control of your favorite characters like Goku, Buu, Vegeta, Gohan. When released, it could even be one of the best free-to-play games of the year. This will be a mobile and Steam exclusive for now, but is already confirmed to be a cross-platform game for those platforms. The full release date isn’t known yet, but you can sign up now for the upcoming beta to get an early look at the game.

If you want to test out Dragon Ball Project: Multi, the only way at the moment is to request access via the game’s official Steam page . While the game will be on iOS and Android, those pages are still listed as “coming soon,” but are said to be included in this beta, so keep an eye out for when those links go live.

This beta will be available for players in the U.S., Canada, U.K., France, Germany, South Korea, and Taiwan. It will begin at 11 p.m. PT on August 19 and run until 10:59 p.m. PT on September 2.

Steam has one big problem with its smallest games

Perhaps the greatest advancement in game development in recent years is the ease of access for the average person to start making a game. This has lowered the barrier of entry to the point where creators of almost any skill level can get their games on a major platform; however, the platforms themselves have not adapted to accommodate the overwhelming amount of content added each day. It's reached the point where the most prominent digital storefronts -- PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam -- are so saturated with new games on a daily basis that even great games can get buried and lost forever.

Excluding AAA games with massive PR and marketing budgets, every other game looking to get a shred of attention at launch is playing a rigged game of roulette with its success. We've hit a critical mass with the number of games coming out where the cream no longer rises to the top based on quality alone. As we approach an all-digital (or at least primarily digital) future, storefronts need to solve this discoverability problem sooner rather than later. It isn't an issue of there being too many games, but the fact that the right games aren't able to reach their target audience.
15 minutes of fame
When Braid was first released in 2008, there were only a total of 242 releases on Steam for that entire year. Fast forward to 2024 -- which still has a quarter of the year left -- and there have already been 10,862 game releases. That's an average of almost 50 games per day thus far. Because storefronts like the PSN and Xbox have remained largely unchanged in the intervening years, Braid: Anniversary Edition was released and almost immediately pushed off the new releases pages.

He dreamed of the ultimate boxing game. Now he’s working with champions
A boxer stands ready, with her trainers behind her in Undisputed.

Sports games are a massive business, with annual franchises for baseball, football (both kinds), mixed martial arts, and more played by millions of people worldwide. Yet boxing, a sport with international appeal, has barely been represented in the space in over a decade. That’s what makes Undisputed so intriguing. It looks to fill the void left by big names like EA's Fight Night series, with a massive roster of legendary boxers, lifelike graphics, and authentic action made by an underdog indie studio that’s just ambitious enough to pull it off.

To better understand just how meticulous Undisputed is about capturing the sport, I met up with Ash Habib, founder and CEO of Undisputed developer Steel City Interactive to take in a night of championship fights and dissect the game. It was a night of spectacle, boxing action, and a who’s who of big names in boxing and sports broadcasting who were eager to talk to us about what Undisputed means to them.
The calm before the storm
It's fight night in Los Angeles, as people from all over the world gather to watch Undisputed Welterweight champion Terrance Crawford move up in weight class to fight Super Welterweight champ Israil Madrimov. The fights will take place at the BMO arena, but for now, I'm at the JW Marriott's bar. There's electricity in the air as fans, fighters, and their camps mill about before heading to the arena.
